Description,
Operating Conditions
The pumps transfer, and evacuate 100
% oil-free. In operation they are gastight, and maintenance-free.
The self drying pumps make it possible
during evacuation to blow the condensed liquid out of the pump heads at
high speed, while maintaining the
vacuum in the recipient at a constant
level. After drying the pump heads the
pumps achieve a greatly improved
vacuum and evacuate much faster
than pumps without a drying system.
Warning
When the pumps are operating the following ambient conditions must be
maintained:
The interval between pump head
ventilation operations (t3).
2. Safety
This pump model is equipped with the
solenoid valve for ventilating the pump
heads. The scope of delivery does not
include control electronics.
1.1 Electrical Equipment
See section 8 for full electrical
data.
The pumps are fitted with a thermal
-switch to protect against overloading.
1.2 Operating Conditions

Installation
Choose a safe location (flat surface for the pump).
Install the pump so as to ensure
adequate flow of air cooling.
Connect the suction and pressure
lines (tube ID 10 mm).
Arrange the pressure line so
that condensate can flow out
of the the pump (falling pipe).
The condensate is conducted out
of the pump via the pressure line.
A container is to be installed to
catch the condensate.
The solenoid valve must be
connected to the drying system
control electronics (not included in
scope of delivery); see fig. 1.
Plug the pump only into properly

The pumps must not start against
pressure. This also applies when
the pump restarts after the power
has been cut off for a short period.
The components to be connected
to the pump must be designed to
withstand the pneumatic data of
the pumps (see Section 8).
The maximum permissible operating pressure (1 bar g) must not be
exceeded.
To prevent the maximum permissible operating pressure being
exceeded, restriction or control of
the air or gas flow should only be
carried out in the suction line.
If restriction or control of the air or
gas flow is made on the pressure
side ensure that the maximum permissible operating pressure is not
exceeded.
When the pump is at a standstill
the inlet and the outlet must be at
normal atmospheric pressure.
PM 1633-842.3-3.00 e 11/05
Ensure the pump outlet is not closed or restricted.
Diaphragm and valve plates are the
only parts subject to wear. Wear is
usually indicated by a drastic
reduction in the pneumatic performance. When replacing parts proceed as described in section 5.
Ambient conditions: see chapter
1.3.
4.2 Operation
Taking the pump into operation
Plug the mains plug of the pump
into a properly installed safety
socket.
Switch the pump on at the pump
mains switch (see fig. 1).
If cyclic drying of the pump heads
is required in the current evacuation process, switch the drying
system on at the mains switch of
the control (not included in
scope of delivery).
The drying system should only
be switched on if a container
has been attached to the pressure line of the pump which will
catch the condensate; otherwise the condensate will flow
out uncontrolled.
Check:
Tubing for correct tubing.
Electrical connections for correct
connection.
After the evacuation/process has been
completed, take the pump out of operation:
Purge the pump including the
connecting hoses with air at full
3
flow rate for about 5 minutes.
If the drying system is switched
on:
Switch the drying system off at the
mains switch of control system
(not included in scope of delivery).
Switch the pump off at the mains
switch of the pump.
Pull the mains plug of the pump out
of the socket.

Servicing:
Changing Diaphragms and Valve
Plates/Sealings
The structured diaphragms in both
pump heads should be changed at the
same time. When diaphragms are
changed, valve plates/sealings should
also be replaced. If the diaphragms are
not changed in both heads at the same
time or diaphragms and valve plates/
sealings are not changed at the same
time the nominal performance of the
pump is not guaranteed after the service.
If a pump has been used for
aggressive or toxic substances or
other types of substances which
are hazardous, hazardous to health,
